Can you apply to a college again after being rejected?

When can I apply for clearing 2020?
From 6 July – 20 October, you can apply for a course using Clearing if you’re not already holding an offer from a university or college, and the course still has places.
How long does a clearing decision take?
Most of the Clearing process happens over the phone – it’s only the last step that requires a Clearing number and the ‘Add a Clearing Choice’ button on UCAS Track. If you had to be released by either your firm or insurance, you will need to wait for confirmation that this has been done, which may take up to 2 weeks.
Are Clearing grades lower?
Most universities that have course vacancies during Clearing will be prepared to accept you if your grades are below their entry requirements as long as you sound passionate and are right for the degree subject. They may also accept you based on the UCAS points you’ve accumulated rather than you final grades.
How long do you have to accept a clearing offer?
24 hours
Can I go through clearing if I have accepted an offer?
Yes! Clearing allows you to change your mind about where or what you study. What’s more, you can call us and discuss your options before you make any final decisions about an offer you have already accepted.
Does nursing go into clearing?
Nursing is a relatively competitive course option for Clearing because students who have failed to get on medicine-based courses such as Midwifery often use Nursing as a backup subject choice.
What do I do if no university accepts me?
If you don’t get an offer from the uni you had your heart set on, here are some alternative options you can start researching now: Accept another university offer. Apply to different courses through Ucas Extra or Clearing. Take a gap year while you reconsider your options.
What happens if you don’t get the grades for a conditional offer?
What happens if I don’t make the right grades? If you hold a conditional offer but don’t get the grades to meet it, the university can still accept you – but it’s at their discretion. They could also offer you a place on a different course. If no decisions are showing on Track, call the institutions.
